indent rule should be more lax on line comments on consecutive lines

Tell us about your environment

• ESLint Version: 4.1.0
• Node Version: 7.9.0
• npm Version: 4.2.0

What parser (default, Babel-ESLint, etc.) are you using?

default

Please show your full configuration:

			"indent": [ 2, "tab", {
				"MemberExpression": "off"
			}],

Full configuration here: https://github.com/Canop/miaou/blob/master/gulpfile.js#L80

What did you do? Please include the actual source code causing the issue.

			var now = (Date.now()/1000|0);
			m.room = shoe.room.id;  // to trigger a security exception if user tried
						// to mod_delete a message of another room
			m.content = "!!deleted by:" + shoe.publicUser.id + ' on:'+ now + ' ' + m.content;
			return this.storeMessage(m, true)

What did you expect to happen?

I expected eslint to either

• accept this comments formatting without triggering an error (as in previous eslint versions)
• let me disable indent checks on comments
• let me configure the indent rule to accept (not exclusively) this kind of comment formatting (self aligned on the first possible tab indent (which depends on the number of spaces per tab))

What actually happened? Please include the actual, raw output from ESLint.

I didn’t find any way to keep this comment as is without disabling the whole indent rule.

Edited the title to make it a little more clear (I interpreted “multi-line comments” as “block comments” on initial read).

Currently, comments are allowed to be indented in one of three ways:

• Align with first token of previous line
• Align with first token of next line
• The “correct” location based on immediate previous tokens (i.e., the same location a statement would be expected to go)

The comment in your example is none of those.

It might be worth enhancing the rule (either by default, or via new option) to allow a line comment’s indentation to be the same location as the beginning of the previous line’s line comment (where there is one).

I want ESLIST to completely ignore comments. it’s pissing me off that I don’t have full control and then my stack shows a TON of warnings for my code comments in million files. so annoying.
